We Pray… God Answers
November 18, 2021 The darkness enveloped us as we sleepily loaded ourselves into the car. More than one tired voice asked what time it was, as we prepared for another long road trip. The children surmised that it looked like midnight, while it was actually nearly 7a.m. What a difference from the jungle! One of…

What are you looking for?
Earlier this week some friends invited us to go to the lake for some jet-ski fun. While riding around I was struck by the massive and beautiful architecture of a house on one side of the water. Anyone would immediately notice the size, but I had no idea of the true expanse. The house itself…

Pesky Lines
Sometimes we complain about rules. Imagine a person so ridiculous as to complain about the legalism of lines on the road. This imaginary person not only resents the lines, but decides to ignore them entirely. This fool soon becomes known for causing accidents and hurting himself and others. I share with you some rules from…

It’s too hard!
The pressure…the stress…the last minute things… the to do list that appears to get longer rather than shorter. We have all felt this as we prepare for a long trip or a big presentation. If you have ever left your home and work for a few weeks you have felt the stress. Imagine that you…

May 27, 2021
May 25, 2021 In March, we were finally meeting on Sundays again, when the country put most areas under a strict lockdown once more. There were some churches that literally got to meet in person just one time, before having to return to virtual services. Someone said, “Online sermons are like watching a flame on…

All-Authority vs Restrictions
Jesus told us that we should go into all the world, because He has “ALL AUTHORITY” (Mat. 28:18) That doesn’t mean we should purposefully break laws, or ignore health concerns. We certainly need to love our neighbors well, and be intentional about not passing sickness. Peru continues to be one of the hardest hit…

Plenty of “firsts”
March 30, 2021 Prayer Letter Dear Friends, We are so thankful for your prayers and support. God continually answers your prayers and ours as He sustains us and provides for us. A tremendous example of that has been the church construction. Although materials and labor have risen dramatically here, as they have in the United…

Jungle Youth Camp
Building a galvanized metal pavilion out in the jungle was not all that easy. But the Lord helped us! We piled into the cars. Somehow managed to erect the tents. Played lots of fun games! Got really wet! Enjoyed the good food! Sang plenty of songs. But most importantly: we got into God´s Word! Camp…
